(19)More than three decades after the Congress passed a law trying to protect pregnant women in the workplace, discrimination is still widespread and needs to be combated with publicity and clearer guidelines, according to testimony at a federal hearing.
Discrimination against pregnant women includes firing, forced-leave without pay, being denied a place to pump breast milk and being barred from some work, witnesses told the five-member EEOC(Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)panel at a hearing on the issue.
(20)Decades after the passage of the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act, discrimination ranges from the shop floor to the executive suite, with sexual stereotyping a major factor. It is found in every state, but is more likely to hit women in low-income jobs, they said.
" This many years after the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, we still have employers who still don’t understand the basics. Are we getting the word out on fundamental issues?" said Commissioner Constance Barker.
The issue of workplace discrimination was highlighted two weeks ago when a federal judge in Texas ruled against a Houston mother who said she was fired after asking for a place to pump breast milk.
The EEOC helped litigate the case. General Counsel David Lopez said the agency was weighing whether to appeal the ruling.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act forbids discrimination by employers based on pregnancy, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments and promotions. Under the law, pregnancy is considered a temporarily disabling condition.
(21)Witnesses said overlapping laws and rules, such as the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act, had created gray areas that left employers uncertain about how to deal with pregnancy.
19. What can we know from the testimony at the federal hearing?
20. What happened after the law passed?
21. Why employers are uncertain about how to deal with pregnancy?
